Windows Validation Failure Notice

This morning when I powered up, a blue star appeared in my system tray, and a warning "This copy of Windows may not be valid." I have been using this copy of windows for years, and have often run validation checks. Is this message likely to be genuine and from microsoft, or a spoof, or worse?

If you've used the validation check online before and it passed, then your copy is probably just one of the 1 in 5 genuine copies that this flawed piece of software incorrectly identifies as fake. There is a way you can remove it though I think, click here and see if this helps.

I think so, I had to re-validate mine a few weeks ago. It explained that my version of Windows had so many programs added to it, I had to go through the same proceedure. It even asked me to enter my product key which I did and all was well, nothing to worry about really.
